Processing vector files.

Questions and postings pertaining to the usage of ImageMagick regardless of the interface. This includes the command-line utilities, as well as the C and C++ APIs. Usage questions are like "How do I use ImageMagick to create drop shadows?".

Processing vector files.

Post by wexfordpress »

When using convert on a vector file (svg or pdf) is the vector file nature preserved or does it get converted to a bitmap form?
I am thinking of:
convert input pdf -colorspace CMYK output.pdf
